says
: ‘
I am
about
to
fulfill
My words against
this city for harm
and not for good ,
and on
that
day
they will
be fulfilled
before your
eyes
.
Go ,
and speak
to
Ebed-melech the Ethiopian,
saying,
Thus
saith
Jehovah
of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold,
I will
bring
my words upon
this city for evil,
and not for good ;
and they shall
be accomplished
before thee
in
that
day
.
But I will deliver you
on
that day, declares
the
LORD,
and you
will
not be delivered
into the hands
of the men whom you
fear
.
But I will deliver thee
in
that day, saith
Jehovah;
and thou
shalt
not be given
into the hand
of the men of
whom thou
art
afraid
.
For I will surely rescue
you
so
that
you
do
not fall by the sword .
Because
you
have
trusted
in
Me
, you
will
escape
with
your
life like
a spoil
of
war
, declares
the
LORD
. ’”
For I will surely save
thee,
and
thou
shalt
not fall by the sword, but
thy
life shall
be
for
a prey
unto
thee;
because
thou
hast
put
thy
trust
in
me
, saith
Jehovah
.
